A 42-year-old tavern owner is in stable condition in hospital after sustaining gunshot wounds in Jouberton, Klerksdorp, North West.

Police are now searching for eight suspects who they believe are responsible for the business robbery. The incident reportedly happened just before midnight on Saturday.

North West police spokesperson Adele Myburgh says the suspects allegedly entered a tavern, threatened patrons, and fired a few shots randomly, before robbing some of them of their cellular phones. “A 42-year-old tavern owner was instructed to open the cash register and upon refusing, he was shot in the stomach and admitted to a local hospital, where he is in a stable condition. No other injuries were reported. The robbers proceeded to break open a burglar door, leading into the owner’s house and after a search, took an undisclosed amount of cash and fled to a nearby field where they got into two vehicles, a white Toyota Quantum minibus and a white bakkie”, says Myburgh.

I wonder where is this country going,there are illegal firearms all over.

SAPoliceService needs to answer. They said we don't need self defence firearms and taverns are gunfree zones. So their actions ensure that non of those victims were armed. So where was police to protect them? Actions have consequences LirandzuThemba CyrilRamaphosa MYANC
